Quote:I think it's safe to assume that trumps policies are going to be extremely pro business. I have no idea if that's a good thing or bad thing yet. Only time will tell and we shall see.

The tax burdens going to have to be made up somewhere.

 

This is where the left and the right have different ideas about taxes.  The left wants to increase tax, especially on the wealthy.  That tends to be bad for business, results in fewer jobs and results in fewer people actually paying taxes.

 

The right wants lower taxes for everybody which creates jobs.  More jobs = more people working = more people paying tax.

 

The end result is usually the same, but which method is better?
